Code

import requests
import json 

#Client ID and SECRET - USE YOUR OWN!
CLIENT_ID = 'Client ID Go Here'
CLIENT_SECRET = 'Client Secret Go Here'

AUTH_URL = 'https://accounts.spotify.com/api/token'

# POST
auth_response = requests.post(AUTH_URL, {
    'grant_type': 'client_credentials',
    'client_id': CLIENT_ID,
    'client_secret': CLIENT_SECRET,
})

# convert the response to JSON
auth_response_data = auth_response.json()

# save the access token
access_token = auth_response_data['access_token']

#creating the headers
headers = {
    'Authorization': 'Bearer {token}'.format(token=access_token)
}

# base URL of all Spotify API endpoints
BASE_URL = 'https://api.spotify.com/v1/'

#Jay Z ARTIST ID
artist_id = '3nFkdlSjzX9mRTtwJOzDYB'

# actual GET request with proper header
r = requests.get(BASE_URL + 'artists/' + artist_id  + '/albums', headers=headers)

data = r.json()

formatted_json = json.dumps(data, sort_keys=True, indent=10)
# print(formatted_json)
print('Album Name:', data['items'][0]['name'])
